Two men mauled to death near alleged drug den

Phoenix, Durban – A man linked to what police describe as a notorious Phoenix drug den was taken into police custody for questioning on Tuesday morning, after two people suffered horrific deaths when they were mauled by a pack of six dogs, believed to be pitbulls.

The disfigured bodies of the victims were found last Thursday in a nearby stream.

In February last year, the mutilated body of Shantel Pillay, 29, was found in the same stream just metres away from the alleged drug den.
